Shirou Emiya doesn't want to work overtime

After all, compared to Shirou Emiya who has just entered the Holy Grail, Shirou Amakusa Tokisada has already entered it half a day earlier, not to mention Shirou Emiya.

As a former Ruler, he knows more about the structure of the Holy Grail, and he even has something that Shirou Emiya does not have now.

That is the body.

Compared to the body, the soul is more difficult to move in the Holy Grail. The soul without the protection of the body will be more easily absorbed by the Holy Grail.

Surrounded by an endless space without any boundary line, even up and down, left and right can not be distinguished, making Shirou Emiya's senses begin to become confused.

Shirou Emiya can only resist and cheer up.

And at this moment, a pure white light shot out from behind Shirou Emiya and hit him directly.

But Shirou Emiya did not feel any pain, he only felt waves of warmth, as if someone was praying for him.

This is a breath that Shirou Emiya is very familiar with.

Pure white light surrounded Shirou Emiya and quietly came to his feet.

A pure white road appeared silently.

As a saint who could communicate with the Lord and trusted him very much, the Lord also responded to her prayer in this Holy Grail.

But rather than saying that it was a response from the Lord, it was better to say that the Holy Grail received the blessing given to Shirou Emiya by the Saint.

After all, Jeanne d'Arc was summoned by the Greater Holy Grail. Although she did not seek prayers from herself, it would also provide the greatest assistance it could.

Shirou Emiya, who had been floating in the air for a long time, finally felt a sense of being down to earth.

Looking at this pure white road that appeared, Shirou Emiya ran hard towards the front of the road without any hesitation.

He believed in Jeanne d'Arc and believed in this road that showed him the way at such a critical moment.

But all the Holy Grail could do was to point out a road. Everything that followed needed Shirou Emiya to face himself.

"If you can't do it, go back--"

"Give up, this road is much more difficult than you think--"

"Indulge in happiness with us--"

Countless whispers appeared in Shirou Emiya's ears.

Their words seemed to be filled with infinite magic, constantly invading Shirou Emiya's spirit, and full of temptation, constantly guiding Shirou Emiya to another road next to the pure white.

Yes.

Why is it so hard.

Why do you have to sacrifice your life like this.

Isn't it good to lie down peacefully?

Isn't it good to enjoy life comfortably?

Even if you give up everything you have, what can you get?

But Shirou Emiya seemed to have not heard it, and continued to move forward along the pure white road.

There was not even any pause in his steps.

In his heart, there was only this thought.

"Only if I carry the burden forward, more people will live a better life!"

Shirou Emiya's heart was not shaken by such words at all, even if it was a borrowed ideal.

Shirou Emiya's faith is definitely not lower than that of Shirou Amakusa Tokisada. If you want to shake his heart like this, these alone are simply impossible to shake it.

"Huh——!"

As if knowing that such words cannot shake Shirou Emiya, the pure white road in front of Shirou Emiya suddenly became extremely twisted.

Countless thorns, swamps, magma, mountains, and ocean currents appeared in front of Shirou Emiya.

Heavy obstacles piled up in front of Shirou Emiya, and there was even an extremely strong gravity suppressing Shirou Emiya.

It made Shirou Emiya's steps suddenly difficult.

"I want to become——a partner of justice!!!"

This is not a slogan, but Shirou Emiya's belief and pursuit that he has always pursued, no matter what kind of obstacles, no matter how he suffers.

In such an intertwined time and space.

He broke through countless thorns, even if his whole body was full of mottled.

He climbed over one mountain after another, even if his body was full of fatigue.

He swam across the sea, even if his vision had become blurred.

Although he knew that the road ahead was difficult to pass, Shirou Emiya still kept running.

And Amakusa Shiro Tokisada probably also walked such a road?

Perhaps the two are not just similar in name, even in the face of these difficulties, the choices they made are almost the same.

Facing those whispers, Shirou Emiya and Shirou Amakusa Tokisada both persevered with strong faith.

Facing these difficulties, they did not hesitate at all, step by step, in order to achieve their wishes, without any retreat.

At this time, one after another voice sounded from around Shirou Emiya in anger.

"This is the hope of the Einzberns!"

"This is what must be done!"

"The root!"

"The root!"

That is the obsession left in the Holy Grail by the magicians of the Einzberns of all generations.

"The Holy Grail is mine! It belongs to the Matou family!"

"No one can stop me!"

"Eternal life!"

"Eternal life!"

That is the madness left in the Greater Holy Grail by the losers of the previous Holy Grail Wars, and also some young and somewhat similar voices.

"Humanity needs to be saved!"

That was Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's gentle and intellectual voice.

However, Emiya Shirou remained unswerving and walked forward, no matter what, he could not stop his progress.

Keep walking.

Keep walking.

Until a man with white hair and a red cloak, holding a pair of black and white swords, with swords all over his body, was sitting on his knees in a deserted area with only countless sword tombstones left. before.

The person in front of him was so similar to himself, whether it was the sword inserted into his body, the red cloak on his body, or his extremely pale hair.

If his power is exhausted, Emiya Shirou's hair will become extremely pale like the strong man in front of him.

But Emiya Shirou did not stop until the sound of a sword sounded in front of him.

Chapter 209 Humanity does not need to be saved!

Blood!

No, it can't be called blood, it was the fragments of Emiya Shirou's soul that splashed out under the black and white swords.

Two sticks were inserted into Emiya Shirou's shoulders.

A powerful feeling of weakness spread throughout Shirou Emiya's body.

But he had no time to fight with it. He wanted to stay here and move forward.

This is a race against time, and Emiya Shirou knows that he cannot stop at all.

Countless swords were pulled out from the barren land, flew into the air, and flew towards Shirou Emiya without reservation.

Two extremely huge weapons appeared from the boundless snow and struck at the running Emiya Shirou with a devastating momentum.

A gunshot with endless sorrow erupted from the dark muzzle and accurately shot into the heart of Emiya Shirou.

Flames that burned everything appeared from the endless beating sound and slashed at Shirou Emiya with the world shattered like snowflake crystals.

"You are finally here————"

When such a voice came from the front, Emiya Shirou finally saw clearly the scene in the bright light in front of him.

It was a completely different scene from the pitch-black space around it.

It is filled with flowers, and everything in the world seems to be filled with beauty. Endless flowers are all over the world.

It makes people feel extremely happy physically and mentally.

And in the center of the whole world, there was a woman wearing a pure white dress, exuding a sacred aura, and with silver hair standing there extremely dignified.

She is the foundation of the Great Holy Grail, the great magician Justeza Ritzleich von Einzbern, known as the "Winter Saint."

"You arrived immediately?"

Standing in front of Shirou Emiya, Shiro Amakusa Tokisada praised Shirou Emiya with words that could not hear the emotion.

At this time, Emiya Shirou was half-kneeling on the ground, breathing heavily. The endless pain all over his body and the severe pain of his soul being torn apart all affected his spirit.

However, Amakusa Shirou Tokisada was not feeling well at this time. His upper body was completely exposed to the air. There were countless knife marks on his entire extremely solid body. Blood was constantly flowing from it, covering the flowers under his feet. Dip dyed scarlet.

He must have suffered a lot of attacks, and his two arms seemed to be entangled with magic spells, blooming with fluctuations of magic power.

"Right arm - evil predator (right_hand_evil_eater)".

"Left arm-Tianhui matrix (left_hand_xanadu_matrix)".

That was none other than Amakusa Shirou Tokisada's Noble Phantasm.

Grade: D

Type: Anti-personnel Noble Phantasm

Distance: 1

Maximum capture: 1 person

In order to give hope to believers who are walking on a difficult road, this is a Noble Phantasm created by the hands that have repeatedly evoked miracles. Can be connected to any magic base to use any magic Skeleton Key.

At the same time, the right wrist and left wrist will activate abilities similar to the "Mind's Eye (True)" and "Mind's Eye (False)" skills respectively to strengthen the baptismal chant.

The right wrist is mainly responsible for auxiliary work in combat such as future perspective, while the left wrist is responsible for strengthening itself. And has an ageless effect.

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada has analyzed his own magic circuits. Originally, the magic circuits would become fixed organs when they were switched on, but his magic circuits continued to deteriorate in units of seconds, and sometimes even the number of magic circuits would increase or decrease.

In addition, Amakusa Shirou Tokisada's face no longer held the harmless smile like before, but showed an indifference as if he was indifferent to everything in the world, looking extremely calm.

His eyes were burning with burning faith.

Regardless of everything, just follow the road ahead and move forward with faith.

This belief is so intense that it can even make people fearful.

If one's willpower is not strong enough, then as long as one is stared at by those eyes, he will be instantly defeated and unable to face this saint face to face.

"If you had come a little later, maybe I would have been able to meet the legendary [Winter Saint] directly and realize my wish."

Emiya Shirou succeeded. Even though Amakusa Shirou Tokisada fought so hard, he came to this space just before Emiya Shirou arrived.

Before Amakusa Shiro Tokisada made any move, he felt the fluctuations in this space, and another person also rushed here.

Without even using his own revelation, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada had already guessed that the one who was coming would definitely be to stop Shirou Emiya.

If you want to know why, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada saw the shadow of miracles in Shirou Emiya.

He was a person who could create miracles like himself.

Even if Shirou Emiya was an ordinary magician, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada would never be like those Heroic Spirits, because magicians like Shirou Emiya looked down on him.
